US_Saudi coalition Responsible for Pollution Destruction of Marine Environment, in Yemen

The Ministry of Marine Resource has warned of the danger of pollution the marine environment is exposed to under the US-Saudi war. The director general of the marine control of the Ministry, Mohamed Abbas Al-Faqih, said that “the ministry has received about 12 reports from fishermen that foreign ships under the supervision and control of the barges of the aggression coalition throw chemical pollutants in the international shipping lane in the Red Sea.”

Al-Faqih clarified that since March 2015, the Yemeni authorities have been unable to control ships that carry chemical pollution because of the militarization of the war alliance for the Red Sea region and the spread of its ships on the Yemeni water borders. He indicated that the reports received by Yemeni fishermen about throwing foreign ships of chemical pollutants in the Red Sea do not represent only 10% of the actual reality.

Al-Faqih confirmed that Emirati companies are systematically destroying the marine environment of the Yemeni islands in the archipelago of Hunish and Zuqr, which is bulldozing, uprooting the coral and transporting them to the Emirates. He pointed out that the longitudinal meter of the coral reef that is being uprooted needs 150 years to grow again, and this behavior describes the enormity of the UAE offense against the marine environment of the Red Sea and the right of Yemen in it.
